PCP: An internist or family practitioner can easily initially evaluate you for this complaint. Tests that may be done could include: X-ray and blood work (labs to check for infectious vs inflammatory causes including gout, arthritis, Lyme disease, gonorrhea). Based on these results, you may be referred to an orthopedist, rheumatologist or infectious disease specialist.
